Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Not unheard of to go into this after scarlet fire (34 times) still, something of a wacky pranksterish reset. Speedy and powerful version with growl.

Devils come alive. Joy ride to wirepickin' ecstatic oblivion. Furiously active yet not autobahn, deep 80s

Great one. Kits duet is really inspired. Space curdles out with noise but gets jester's hat nightmare with vocal pranks. Beautiful long bluesy intro

Bitchin' 80s miracle

it's 85 magic. Characteristic of the era to almost take the Eyesie past sense but see thru to new and snappier set 2 weaves. Watercolor attention paid to chronically assured loping skylarking autobahn rainbow gathering sauce

Thoughtful yet driving and kicking midlife Weir classic.

Lucid and seeing through 80's BEW, seminal.
